Have You Been To A Concert Alone?

I've never been to a concert by myself. I want to go to a concert or two around my birthday, because an old friend of mine is headlining a pretty big tour, I want to support her.

I don't think I know anyone who would want to go, unless I start contacting people I haven't talked to in a really long time. I'm also wondering if I should try to contact her and let her know I'll be there, I haven't talked to her in a couple years I'm thinking.

I'm also thinking of trying to go to two or three of the concerts near me. What would you do? I could maybe get one person to go with me, but I think I'd have to buy tickets for both of us. Not sure I wanna do that with all the expenses I'm going to have for the next few months.

 

yes, i prefer to enjoy things alone, so that i can enjoy the thing itself, instead of social distractions. i don't mean this as a rejection of companionship, i can enjoy that too. but if i'm going to something, i'm going there to experience that thing, not who i might happen to be with.

i love affection. i love to be loved. but i soon loose patience when it holds me back from creating or exploring.

 

I've never gone to an individual large concert by myself but I've been to plenty of music festivals and there have been lots of times that I wanted to see a specific band and my friends wanted to hit a different stage for a different band. No biggie. I'll just go see who I want and meet up with everyone later.

 

Yeah festivals are easier. I think I just need to find someone who's already planning to go near me. I think there is just one opening act and then the headliner.

 

I was meeting a friend at a concert, and didnt turn up..i had an amazing time, made lots of friends
too...do it, just go... Dont miss thee chance, people aree a lot friendlier than you think at these places..

 

i like going to concerts alone sometimes. mainly because i like to see alot more live music than most of my friends, or atleast more than they can afford. broke ass motherfuckers!

i've met really cool people at concerts i went to by myself. they way i see it, if your friends don't come with you then just make new ones at the show.

follow your friends or follow the music.

 

I would say just go. If there's someone that you really want to bring along, that's fine, but you don't have to.

 

I have gone to concerts alone, It is a different experience then going with others but usually I enjoy it. I play and make music and so when i go to a concert alone, I feel I can process the music better and come out with some ideas for my own music easier. However, being alone at a bad concert can be kind of uncomfortable and although you don't have to wait on anyone else to leave, it tends to feel like more of a wasted time.

 

I can honestly say I have never been to a concert, Or I just don't remember. I have been to 'steamboat days' which is a week long festival and have seen a couple there.

I guess if I were to ever go to one, Id want at least 1 person to show me the in's and out's of them. But for the most part, I do like to enjoy activities alone so I can do as I please.

 

I've never gone to any sort of event alone. I actually haven't even been to a movie by myself before.

 

All the time. But I cherish doing things alone.

 

Not a big concert, but small shows a few times. Is this one you are talking about in Florida?

 

She's going to be in Jax and a little closer to me as well. Its pretty big.

 

Until I was 18 years old I didn’t even realize you could go to a movie alone since I always had lots of friends and family to go with

Hotwater

 

never a concert or festival, but movies yes. I enjoy movies alone actually. :sifone:

 

I'll go with you, depending when it is. What kind of music?

 

I'm considering doing that tonight now after reading this thread.

 

I remember when I was in college calling home like " I can't eat in the cafeteria alone!" I had no clue other people did that! I'll pm you deviate.

 

just go for it usedtobehoney,what you need to realize is all the people there are going for the same thing i.e the artist , so you have common ground to talk about, and you will probably make a lot of new friends

 

I have plenty of times. I've even gone to a different state to a concert by myself, spent the night and gone home the next day. I've gone to festivals with friends but ditched them when I got there to see the band's I wanted to see. I've gone to a bunch of local shows alone too. I almost prefer it. I'm very independent. I say go for it!
